Simos Tsilikas has resigned as the coordinator of SYRIZA in Evros, citing disillusionment with the party’s direction and internal conflicts. In a recent interview, he criticized the organization of an emergency conference, labeling it a ‘badly staged farce’ for its exclusionary practices. Tsilikas expressed concerns that key party leaders are steering SYRIZA towards becoming a controlled faction, distancing it from its foundational principles. Voicing a call to remaining democratic members, he questioned their continued participation in a system he views as undemocratic and anticipates further resignations in the near future.
